User Guide
Use this guide as the public web companion to the in-app manual. CDT is designed for quick short-term duty planning and reference checks before and during a duty.
Quick start
- Open CDT and select or enter the route sectors for the duty.
- Enter planned STD and STA values, then review planned flight time and duty time.
- Enter ACT OUT and ACT IN as actual timing becomes available.
- Check duty, flight-time, rest, rolling FT, and LBO reference outputs.
- Open Settings when company-style planning values need to be adjusted.
Main inputs
| Field | Use |
|---|---|
| Route | Defines the sector sequence used for local time and duty review. |
| STD / STA | Planned departure and arrival timing for each sector. |
| ACT OUT / ACT IN | Actual out and in timing used to refresh duty and flight-time calculations. |
| Settings profile | Controls report time, taxi assumptions, duty limits, rest settings, and related references. |
Apple Watch
The Watch companion is intended for quick review and time entry while the iPhone remains the primary calculation and settings surface. Keep the paired devices nearby and open CDT after changing route or setting data so the Watch snapshot can refresh.
Notifications and Live Activity
CDT may show duty-stage reminders for REPORT, STD, DLY, and LBO while ACT OUT is still pending. Notification permission must be enabled in iOS Settings for local notification delivery.
Settings
Company-style settings make CDT adaptable for different planning environments. Treat these settings as local planning assumptions and verify final values against current manuals and operational requirements.
Data control
CDT uses a local-first workflow and does not require an account for core calculations. Saved routes, settings profiles, Watch snapshots, and reminder state are managed on device unless the user manually exports or shares data.
